This update discusses the recent case ofÂ Rals International Pte Ltd v Cassa di Risparmio di Parma e Piacenza SpA Â [2016] SGCA 53 where the Singapore Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the High Court that the assigneeâ€™s claim based on a number of promissory notes did not fall within the scope of the arbitration agreement in the underlying Supply Agreement. The assignee of such notes was therefore free to litigate in the courts.
